Staten Island Sound, there is strip OF
riparian land two hundred feet wide, now
owned by the Riparian Commission,
which is essential to the completion Of the

striyen vainly to acquire. Their agents
have secured all the riparian rights needed
in the vicinity except this, for which they
have twice made application to tho COM
missioners. 1t is not worth more than
$1,000, but some Of the Commissioners
think that, as 1t is the Last piece of ripar-
ian land in that locality belonging to the
State, it should not be sold. Ex-Gover-
nor Albeit, counsel for the railroad,
company, has been uaing all bis influence
with the commissioner to procure the
grant. II it is not obtained, the company
may be greatly delayed in reaching the
New York terminus on Staten Isiaud,
The commissioners will hold meeting
early in July, at which the final contest
will be made.

New YoRE, June 29,-The Evening Sun
says: Wall street took on little spurt Of
excitement just at the close Of business
on ticker report that Jay Gould had &C
quired the Baltimore & Ohio Telegraph
lines by purchase from Robert Garrett.
Ever since Alfred Sully made his ridicu-
lous failure to purchase the Baltimore 4
Ohio on GU option given him by Garrett,
that option has been held by Henry s.
Ives, the broker. Ives option covers the
railroad, telegraph snd. all other allied
properties and waa removed last Saturday
until the middle Of July. While that op.
ton holds good, nobody hut Ives can buy
or cell the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad or
telegraph. Iveq is alter railroad and
don't want any telegraph. He has got an
idea that Jay Gould does want another
telegraph, and that he can be induced to
take the Baltimore & Ohio telegraph, thus
making 1t easier. to pay for the railroad.
Negotiations TO that effect. were in progress
yesterday and 1t ID not unlikely may suc.
coed: That is, II Ivss can manage to buy
the telegraph and railroad OF Garrett's
terms Gould will take the telegraph of

with her 0oon.to.be husband, George
Jekel, Of Loulsyllls, has created greater
excitement in tho city than any tragedy
ever enacted thore, not excepting tho
mysterious murder Of Mrs. Leavenworth,

young Jekel was on a sp1ee at New AL.

to this separation. Jekel who ia In jail

The prevailing sentiment in Jefferson
